English: Essaouira is a kind of low-key Marrakech and has a great reputation as a laid-back town with plenty of interest in the medina (old town) but it’s hardly a beach destination unless you’re on a board and just love a stiff breeze. The beach mainly makes an appearance at low tide and is less-than-inviting. Either stay here and trip down to Sidi Kaouki for the day or stay there and do Essaouira for the day, depending on your beach priorities. That being said, Sidi Kaouki is hardly windless. .
